No More Cowboy Presidents Say Canadian-Koreans

More at http://www.theuptake.org The UpTake and Salimah Ebrahim interview a family of Korean-Canadians going out to eat with their Austin-residing daughter in Lockhart, Texas. They speak to how electing Obama or Clinton will change the view of the U.S. abroad and how the next President should deal with a possible change in leadership in North Korea.

There is nothing wrong with having a "female or a black" as president of this country as long as that person is the right person for the job. It's not worth throwing in someone, because of their race or sex just for that reason. That would be racist or sexist and thus un-american. The candidate needs to be selected based upon their policies, abilities and character. Why would we throw away what this country stands for just to look good to other countries? We could have done that a 200 years ago

Salimah is Hotter than the BBQ, when was this interview? I live 3 blocks from here...

Sorry, I may have misunderstood your text. Yes, of course I am in agreement that neither sex nor race should play a role; it's a shame that either one or the other has been made an issue (or abused as one) at all, but we don't live in a perfect world. True, it would be of symbolic value to break the "barrier", but electing on that basis would mean the point was lost, i.e. that neither should be of any issue at all, pro or contra. The media perpetuates this nonsense by constantly harping on it.

scarbluff: Thanks for the history refresher. I re-read my post that you reference and I couln't find anywhere that I said we could have elected a woman or black 200 years ago. Maybe you can help out here as well? As an aside, are you in agreement that sex and race should not play a part in selecting government officials? Please select "Reply" to my comment as I do not scan through all posts hunting for replies to my previous posts. If I had thirty vacation days I might do that, but I don't have.

Good souls don't indulge cruelty. They tend toward compassion for all beings. They enter conflict reluctantly, only after other options are exhausted. That's not weakness - that's being distinctively human, as opposed to residing in the most primitive, reptilian parts of the brain/psyche. If there has been weak-mindedness in America, it has been public complacency before the essentially corrupt leaders who they continue to ALLOW to do as they please.

You get what you pay for. It is harder to preserve real crab meat in the supermarket fridges. Korean sushi is the roll type. Japanese sushi is the big slabs of meat, called sashimi. So I am not sure what you mean by the whole El Pollo Loco comment.  And everyone knows that if you want Dim Sum...you go to Bi Feng Tang.....

And the California Roll is made with fake crab, which means fake sushi...just my opinion, of course. Hey, don't hate me for being a purist, but I wouldn't go to El Pollo Loco for DimSum.

I am taking my cues from Canada on who I vote for in Nov. Just because I like the way they say out.

idogid- I read your whole comment-it's what I do. I thought I could smell something funny yesterday. It must have been when you typed "*laughs in your face*" in your commment. Man that typing ficticious actions in between ** really works. You are a mysterious magical being. Send me some money and I can ship you down some mouth wash. *laughs not really in your face but in a southerly direction* Did you hear me? Let me know if I did it wrong. I want to be magical too.

There's no way the whites would have traveled so long without there slaves. The blacks came over the same time the whites did.
